• Crucifiction was the most common method of execution.
• Other methods of execution included being strangled or having throats cut
• Noblemen were allowed to simple commit suicide either by their own sword, or by opening their wrists in a warm bath.
• If you were executed in disgrace, you were thrown off a cliff in Rome called the Tarpeian Rock. (only in the early republic)
